BlackBerry Storm on eBay…Not as popular as Javelin

I guess not as many people are as psyched for this phone as they were for the Javelin. This seller seems like the real deal with his 100% positive feedback, but I don’t know about this auction.

A few things this seller states in this auction make it sound sketchy:

• “I have 3 Phones currently in transit. If you are a serious buyer I can provide you a copy of the tracking number”
• “I will ship the phone as soon as it arrives.”
• “I will not send a picture of the phone with your name because there are too many crooks on the net, if my picture is not good enough dont buy the phone.”

This guy must be in deep with RIM to be getting these phones like that, I wonder who he is. Unless of course he just knows someone inside RIM that’s getting him these phones. Nice way to make some extra money though.

I don’t like the fact that he will ship the phones once he gets them, after receiving payment. I wouldn’t do that, but there are people that don’t care whether or not he actually has the phone as long as they still get it. What happens if the delivery guys realizes what it is (somehow) and decides not to deliver it? I guess it’s a good thing this guy only uses PayPal, that’s the only safe method of payment to use I think. If he screws you, you can just file a claim and get your money back. At least that’s how it’s worked for me.

Anyway, if you’re interested in checking this auction out you can click here. Good luck if you decide to bid! And if you win, let me know if this was the real deal.
